There’s a betrayal trend in the past few days that should be brought to your attention:

I just loved this image when I came across it. It made me think of all the times that I denied myself and what I wanted or knew to be right, for the sake of ‘saving’ someone else. Even if I was doing it for ‘right’ reasons, didn’t make it right. Why? Because denial of oneself is the highest betrayal there is. There are not enough rationalizations in the Universe to justify denying oneself for the sake of another. If you choose another persons priorities over your own, you are not being generous or giving and you are not making a generous sacrifice for which you will be rewarded later. You are betraying yourself. Your truth is the only truth there is. The ‘other’ will certainly not betray themselves for you, again that would still be a betrayal. When you are faced with the dilemma of putting someone else’s needs, wants or desires before your own…the best plan of action is to stick with what you know…yourself. DO NOT CHOOSE TO BETRAY YOURSELF! And as a side note to confuse you even further: don’t mistake self betrayal for selfishness!

You must stop looking to the past to solve the issues of the future. Right now there are frustrations and obstacles in your life that make you angry or upset or frustrated. There are things that don’t go as planned and people who confuse you. If you use the same tactics and actions that you’ve always used to try to ‘fix’ things or make them better, you are going against the flow of your life. Don’t swim against the currents, let them take you where you’re supposed to be.

You are walking along on a clear and easy path and all of a sudden you come across a gate with a sign that reads: “Do not enter,” and you enter it anyway…then the path becomes treacherous and rocky and dangerous…yet you still keep going…this is where you are now. In the big middle of a dangerous path that you were told not to go down. You missed the sign is all. And you missed it because in the past when you had come to the same fork in the road or gate that said “keep out,” you did the same thing (walked right through it or went the wrong direction by misreading the signs) and got the same results.

The good news is that you can fix it all. When you really open your eyes to the truth, your truth, you will see that you must take a different action. You must make a different choice. You must embrace your true nature and that may take a little backtracking (not to be mistaken for doing the same things you’ve done in the past).

Go back to the source of each unhappiness or issue and look at it as if you are seeing it for the first time. Now make a different choice in order to restore balance. Make the choice to be happy and take that path this time. It may not be the easiest or prettiest path but you must undo what you’ve done this time. Honor yourself and the life you have by choosing a better happiness. Make the MOST of what you have to work with, don’t try to force something new that you don’t have. This is balance.

You know exactly why you are reading this and you do know at least where to start so what are you waiting for?

 

All a part of the plan

Today things will look random and scattered, but don’t let appearances fool you. There’s a master plan at work as always. Everything happens in the exact order and manner they are supposed to. Open your eyes, including your third eye…you may not see the Wizard behind the curtain but you will certainly see His intentions.  Making strategic moves on the chess board of life is not your directive in this. Yours is to look, listen and see the design. When you do this you will see where and how you fit in and curiously enough…that you are the star of a very important event. The trouble comes when you begin to think you are overly important in this design. Remember, each piece, each person, each mundane task, they are all just as important to this particular day as you are. In a  Master Plan, each element has it’s own perspective, directive, role and construct. If you try to take away the importance of any one element, you will lose the Magic and the Wizard will surely turn the tables on you!

Damaged people

Look around you. How many people can you name that aren’t damaged in one way or another? Or, in many ways? Maybe their body is slightly dented, askew, diseased or degrading. Maybe their mental acuity is off a bit…or a lot.  Maybe they have a personality disorder or many.  Maybe they are so damaged that you have separated yourself from them just because you didn’t want the hassle of dealing with a  ‘damaged person.’

If you have ever done this, rethink your choice. At the very least, rethink your reasoning and rationalization behind the choice. You my friend are damaged as anyone. And your choice to only associate with the pristine or completely “whole” people, have landed you square in the middle of the most damaged of all: Those who hide it so well that when one event brings those folks to a tipping point, you are left in all the shit that comes spewing out. (A “grass is not always greener” analogy)

If you however, are a damaged person in some way, don’t ever feel shame. Well, at least try hard not to let that shame overwhelm you or define who you are. If you have been left behind or forgotten or tossed aside for ‘better’ people, remember the sweet, sweet revenge of  karma working it’s Universal Magic. And don’t think for one second that it won’t come around…it will!

I can name one person out of a hundred that I know personally, that has no definable damage.  This is certainly an enigma and maybe one in a billion people have this gift. I will never strive to be that perfect, lest I drop my sanity in the gazing pond whilst leaning to catch a glimpse of my own perfection.

You are perfect just as you are and leave the dumb shit behind.

You are innocent

Gwintuition 10/7/09:

The two girls playing in the picture are so carefree and innocent. They have no care in the world other than doing what little girls do on a bright and sunny day. You have done your best  and that’s all that matters. You don’t owe any apology for doing your best. You don’t owe guilt or shame or remorse. Everything that comes from you is from your heart with true effort and pure intention. When you can become that innocent today, you will know what I mean. Everything you do is best, is golden and very valuable.  When you let go of control yesterday, if you did as you were meant to do, this innocence will come easy. If not, just remember that you can always get back to it, anytime. All you have to do is completely get rid of the judgments of others and especially the judgments of yourself, and you will return to innocence. You’ll know you’ve made progress when your inner voice speaks to you again. Actually, what I mean to say is, you will be able to hear your inner voice with amazing clarity, again. You will remember what it sounds like, feels like and you will know exactly what to do.

Escape control

Gwintuition 10/6/09:

The grip you have on the control of your life is causing a bit of a cramp in your hands. Take a break…just a little one. If that means a trip away or a day off or a breather from a strict routine, do it.  The consequences of not easing up on this control could be devastating. This is a version of yourself that you aren’t particularly fond of, so what good is holding on so tight? There’s plenty of time for the control-freak in you to to grow and flourish, but now is not that time and it could make you sick.

Or, escape what’s controlling you. You may not be the cause or source of this control that is so binding. Get away from it as fast as you can. If you absolutely must retun to it, get away for at least 2 days. Remember the thunderbolt?
